WBCA 102.9 FM History

In 2013, for the first time in ten years, the FCC opened applications for local Low-Power FM (LPFM) Radio licenses to community and civic organizations. The City of Boston applied for the license to provide a source of news and information to Boston residents, including public safety programming and any local or regional emergency information.

Boston was granted a license-to-construct permit in 2015 for a new FCC Low Power FM (LPFM) radio station.

Because multiple qualified community organizations applied for the one available LPFM license for the Boston market, a sharing agreement was created under FCC guidelines. The signal is shared with Lasell College from 10:00am to 6:00pm and Global Ministries from 2:00am to 10:00am.

WBCA 102.9 FM is operated and programmed by Boston Neighborhood Network (BNN) from 6:00pm to 2:00am.
